Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of panko breadcrumbs and grated asiago cheese.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg, then coat with the panko and asiago mixture, pressing to adhere.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and let drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Fry the Capers

    In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and heat until hot. Add the capers and fry until they are crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle in olive oil while whisking until emulsified.

  7. 7

    Assemble the Dish

    On each plate, place a chicken breast, top with arugula, fried capers, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle with lemon vinaigrette and finish with shaved Parmesan Reggiano.
